The population biology of Camallanus lacustris (Zoega) and the status of the eel, Anguilla anguilla (Linnaeus), as its definitive host have been studied in a small Devon lake. No clear seasonal pattern in prevalence and abundance was observed, and recruitment of the new generation may occur in all s...
